SUMMER WHITE GOODS.

There is every evidence of an unusual popu-
larity and consequent unusually large de-
mand this summer for White Goods. We have
purchased heavily. Our large outlet COM
mands for us the lowest possible prices from
the makers, and buying in such large quauti-
ties we can name prices which would other
wise be impossible; hence the benefits accruing
from our large purchases are shared by every
individual buyer.

BROOKS'S FATHERS Love
THE OLD MAN COMES TO HIS AID

He Tells Of His Belief In His
Boys Innocence With q
Heavy Heart.

ST. LOUIS, No., July 2S.-Samuel N.
Brooks, Of Hyde, England, father Of
Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias Maxwell, ar
rived in this city last night. He comes
to be with his boy in the days Of dire
extremity, to try to save him from a
felon's death. M. Brooks Is q hale
looking gentleman. His feelings are
at high strain, though he labors to
suppress them. When VISITED by O
reporter be collected himself for con.
versntion, but he hesitated as though
keeping back his tears 81 could not
get here earlier, on account OF the
trains" he said. 81 have not seen my
boy yes." In answer to question AZ
to what was thought OF the case In
England Mr.. BrooKs eaid: "Over in
England we can't understand anything
tina, isn't fair. The boy-my boy-is
no more guilty Of murder than you
are. / will never desert him. l
will spend my last copper to
cave him. l will see everybody In the
United States until / see the master
II there be q master hereto save him.
Should they hang him l will not de-
sert him. II would be murder to hang
him. The detective thrown into the
jail-that was infamous, fendish, dis.
bolical. The wonder IL that the aabby
faced wretch was allowed TO 70 on the
stand and open his mouth. An En-.
glish Judge would have sent him to
prison and tried him and others, too,
for conspiracy. The boy never told
that man what he claimed. Ny boy
never committed murder. What was
done to Preller was done at his own
request. Ga, they treated my boy
shsmefully. When read Of the
trial said, why that is not Q fair
trial the lawyers are handicapped In
every way. They said he denied his
father. He never denied me. He
loved me 40 l loved him-as q
Christisn loves his God. They claim
he forged my name. That is an imam
Gus lie. Tney said he ran away from
home without bidding US goodbye.
II was false. He came 10 my room
and bid me goodbye. They say he
lied. Why, everybody tells stories 10
make people laugh. l do not call that
lying. That Is what We call tall talk
Ing When sny one leaves England,
he comes 10 America, thers ia nothing

Mr.. Brooks thought his boy might az

He believes firmly in his sons inao-
